Slimming World??? Waste of time.

Gave this a go as it was highly recommended by friends and family. Must say I'm very disappointed. Didn't lose an ounce of weight, was hungry all the time and every recipe i cooked for me and my husband was bland and favour-less. What a complete waste of time and money. Cannot even believe I tried such a diet. Don't understand how many people have stuck to it and even recommended on how amazing it is.

I tried NHS Live Well plan and enjoyed everything I cooked. Food from the Easy Meals app were absolutely delicious. Regret not keeping with it. I even lost half a stone in 3 weeks.

Hi gibbs17

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with SW. I must admit I could'nt get on with it either.

Well done on losing 7lbs in 3 weeks on the NHS Live well plan. Have you tried the NHS 12 week plan which lots of the members here have success with. I have lost 4st 10lbs following this plan.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you either. I did try the 12 week plan, and did it for 3 weeks. I think it's also called the Live Well Plan. Wow, well done you. That's amazing. I found it to be a real success for me also, so I don't know why I stopped following it.

Sorry i didn't realise they had changed the name from Live well plan to 12 week plan. Glad it worked well for you.

Sorry it did not suit you, I am on Slimming World and I love it. I have lost one and half stone, my husband has been on it for three weeks and lost one stone. We eat a good varied diet and it is certainly not tasteless, we find them very filling. I think it is how you cook your food, I use herbs, etc and adapt recipes to suit us.

Good luck on the NHS Live Well Plan.
